Hi JNH!

This is exceptional work for the timeframe. I love the amount of time and effort put in to just the lore of the game. The story was pretty dark too! Competing in a battle royal to exist - Holy smokes! It was a nice way to put some context around why these bombs are waddling around the arena.

I only was able to play alone, but I could see this being a lot more fun with two people. It would be cool if there was a "competitive multiplayer mechanic." Maybe, if the rope breaks you both lose, but if one player is defeated without the rope breaking than the other wins. Also having the rope tug on the other person might add some depth to that mechanic. 

Well, I know a game is good when the only comments I have are to develop it further. Well done! it was a pleasure to play!

Best,

Brandon from TheIndieDream

Really cool game. Awesome soundtrack and art. There were a few bugs but overall a great experience! :)

Jaw dropping art and style for a 48 hour game jam. Love the character illustrations, and the dodge-em-up sort of gameplay style works well here.

The art is really cool and the idea of deflecting bullets with the rope is a good one. It was a little disorienting at first because I didn't understand the objective was to survive until time ran out. I could imagine adding more enemies and bosses that you have to defeat by deflecting shots at them. Nice job!

Real brain-breaker when playing local coop on your own 😅 but really cool concept. Actually wish the game had more levels so I could grab a friend and try it out some more. Really good job!

I'm glad you liked it!  we had 7 levels finished but sadly a bug causes the game to end after 1 ; _ ;

Oh my god D: That must be the most frustrating bug ever

Fun little two player game, the presentation and story is amazing! Very dicey dungeons and anime kind of vibes! Can't believe you got online multiplayer working as well!

The visuals and presentation of this game are definately a standout, and the gameplay isn't bad either. It is a little short being only one level long though. (Also the fact it has online multiplayer is neat).

This is really good. The aesthetic and presentation is amazing, and it even has online multiplayer? Definitely one of the best entries I've seen.

The overall presentation and gamefeel is amazing! Maybe a fixed rope length could prevent some "just staying in each other" cheese and create more intense moments with your partner.

The art is great and the concept is very interesting. I can see a lot of care went into the presentation and the setting. However, the game felt a bit too short ;)
Regardless, good job!

Pretty charming experience overall. It's very quick to get through the game, but it's a polished vertical slice of what could be a decent full game if more levels and variety is added. I really like the charismatic intro.

This game presents its idea in a great way! The opening cutscene is funny and captivating, the art style is really really good, and the gameplay has a fun mix of balancing each little problem that is thrown your way! I didn't have a second person, though

Woah, the art style is really good!

I also loved reflecting the bombs. As you will continue development in this, I highly suggest tweaking it and using its full potential. :)

A great little fun game with amazing aesthetics! Love the music and the cuteness of characters in general. Hope to see more levels!

I wished I had someone locally to play with because that was amazingly fun! The tv aesthetic was spot on and I loved the beginning cinematic that came with it. The visuals are beyond amazing and I wish you well with any further developments
